I also like the work they did on the Sorceress...... and Netossa, this line keeps getting more and more awesome! (Can't wait for Castaspella............ and hopefully our first female NA character soon!!!)

But they all look really great. Loads of work and planning are put into these things. Many times, I've wished that non-collectors could see that these are more than just silly, generic, chunks of plastic made for 10 year olds.

Agreed. As corporate as toy companies are, and as mass produced as the toys are, it's still a kind of art to me.

I think all the female figures in the line have had issues with the face. I'm not saying they are bad, but they don't seem to come off nearly as well as the male faces, at least to me. They seem to be lacking that wow factor. The female faces in Filmation are very angular and this isn't translating too well on the female faces of the figures. Frosta is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. To a certain extent, the female faces seem too similar from figure to figure.

Contrary to popular opinion, my favorite female face is, ironically, Queen Marlena's. To me it is the closest to the angular look of Filmation (especially around the cheek bones; although, it could be more angular) and my figure doesn't seem to possess the bug eyes like everyone says she has, at least not to me.

wow, all of the girls that close up are a lil scary! I love Teela the best, then Starla, SHe-Ra, Adora, Sorceress are all tied, Netossa, Evil Lynn, then Catra then the other Star Sisters and Marlena. Frosta would be great, but I think the paint job on mine makes her less than perfect.

I will NEVER believe that Mermista beheaded Mer-Man! You sit on a throne of lies.... and smell of beef and cheese, bio writer!!!!

Hmmmmmm, you bring up an interesting proposition. Maybe someone should start a close-up male heads picture thread. (Try saying that five times fast!)

I would love to see the awesome details the 4H put into their work....

Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

First, thanks for the nice words guys and your appreciation to this thread. I can also asure you I'm having a lot of fun making those close-ups, though my lighting is very amateurish (just one soft light from the right), but luckily the rest of my hardware isn't

And just to kill all illusions - the figures look a lot worse in the originals. EVERY picture is touched up. No scratches, curbs, black spots, sloppy paint-jobs anymore. I removed everything

And now get ready for Queen Marlena ... a bit too comical for my taste

Not seeing the pictures yet due to a work internet filter, but I can say I tend to like the MOTUC female faces in general. I tend to prefer women with fairly strong jaws/chins in general, so the sculpts for Teela (regular and Battleground), Sorceress, and Queen Marlena come to mind.
